Numbers represent the calculated diatom flux as recorded by the mooring, and the individual species counts. The diatom flux [#/m**2/day] was calculated using two different methods in parallel, the dilution technique by Sanceta & Silvestri, 1984 (doi:10.1016/0377-8398(84)90016-1) and Batterbee, 1973 (doi:10.4319/lo.1973.18.4.0647).
